Print to a PDF printer results in unselectable text and garbled fonts in PDF

You can work around this issue easily:
Opera does have "Save as PDF"-functionality built-in so you don't even need PDFCreator or alike:- Press Ctrl+P or choose "Print..." in OMenu to open print preview
- click "Change..." in the destination field
- Choose "Save as PDF"

; see http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax#img@christoph142 Oh yes, tht creates PDF which text is selectable and non-garbled
Thanks for the Workaround.

Choose "Save as PDF"Not happening here. Save as pdf is not an option under Print nor does it appear under Save As.

As I pointed out in my thread that was closed,
https://forums.opera.com/topic/6777/save-as-pdf-issues/3
I'm using Opera 25. Will look for Opera 26.
EDIT: Opera 26 now installed, get this message: Opera does not include the PDF viewer which is required for print preview to function.
Found a PDF viewer extension but installing it made no difference.

You do not need a PDF viewer extension!
Open opera://plugins/ and activate Chrome PDF Viewer -

@ho72 You can uninstall the PDF viewer extension. You don't need it.
You're suffering from a little bug (that's fixed already, but didn't get distributed yet).
Turn off Opera Turbo for the time being to get rid of this error :ninja: -

@ho72 You can turn Turbo back on. Today's update should have fixed your printing issue
No, it did not. Version info: 26.0.1656.32 - Opera is up to date
Woops, sorry, my bad.
Next update :wait:
